6.1.2Alarm Rights for Operators

!72 To receive and process alarms

A View operator needs the Multi SA to:

1.Add the Process alarms right to a View-operator account. - and to -

2.Grant access to sites set to send alarms.

Time limit for operating sites: suspended while processing alarms

Operator accounts restricted by a time limit for operating Multi-Media units do not show a countdown when processing alarms: the time limit is cancelled while processing alarms. Alarms usually mean some type of emergency is occurring, which may require more time to be dealt with.

Setting an alarm

Setting an alarm requires additional user-account rights. See 6.7: Setting an Alarm.

6.2Live-alarmed Session

When an alarm is triggered...

If an operator is connected to the Multi site sending the alarm, a “Live Alarmed” session takes up the entire PC screen (The Live Alarmed window is maximized) and all cameras at the site are displayed.

For systems with many Multi-Media units

During a full screen LIVE alarm session, the name of the site is in the window’s title bar. When alarms are received from two or more sites, Multi is designed so that they be dealt with site-by-site, to avoid confusion.

!73 To retrieve video recorded at the time of an alarm

1.Select the “Launch a retrieval on selection from alarm list” option as explained in 6.1.1: Customizing Alarms. This makes a checkmark appear next to the list of alarms, under the live-alarmed toolbar. See fig. 58.
